The end of the season....

I seem to have missed summer. I can only recall a couple of sunny weekends. One trip to a pool. A couple nights filled with ice cream, ice cold beer, and time curled up in my ridiculously expensive outdoor papason chair. I had so many plans. Like blowing up the baby pool I bought last summer for Kai. Walking every evening after dinner. Fixing the grill. But now the great New York State Fair is here & that can only mean one thing=summer is gone. Soon Ali will be back to school. Next week I will begin my reign as VP of the PTO by setting up a breakfast for the teachers at 6:30 a.m. (gasp) Her backpack is all set & full of supplies. We are going clothes shopping again on Saturday. Brushing up on our math skills, practicing writing our name (they make her use Alexandria not Ali). I am OK with fall. The cooler temperatures. Beak & Skiff-apples, pony rides,pie & cider. Jumping in the leaves. Pumpkins. Maybe next fall I will go back to school too. ~Queen Crazy Mum of Insanityville
